Another thing we're seriously considering is putting in hardwood floors in our home.
I'm a do-it-yourself kind of guy, so I really want to try this myself. Notice I said try. I didn't say I was good at all these projects. But if I can do it I'll make the effort in order to save some money. If I fail, so be it. Then I'll just call in a contractor to fix the mess I've made.
Yes I've had to do that before. And sometimes I end up spending a little more this way. But in the long run, over the many projects I've tried (and often completed), I know I've saved thousands of dollars by doing this myself.
But to put in these floors I'm going to need some tools. And one necessity is a pneumatic floor nailer. I've found two I'm really interested in getting and I wrote about them in my new Squidoo lens. I'll give you some links below.
But first I want to talk briefly about why I want hardwood floors to begin with.
I like carpeting, but I hate cleaning it. And with grand kids and dogs it can get really dirty really fast. Yes I could go with darker carpet, but if you read my previous post you know that I'm interested in making my rooms look bigger not smaller.
Hardwood floors with a light wood just seems like the perfect solution.
So that's where it stands right now.
And here's where you can find out more about the pneumatic floor nailer.
